Just got the hard badge, with 47 lives left at the end.
Used only tacks and cannons (and one monkey...), never upgraded anything.
Towards the end of the game, had to use a lot of spikes on black, white and rainbow bloons when they just entered the screen.
First, the game didn't load using IE, so now I have to use firefox.
Then, I killed cerberus while the kongregate light above the chat was red, and now I don't get the achievement when I load, so I guess I have to start from the beginning.
Got to level 26 and no one gives me quests anymore because I need reputation.
Do I have to spend a couple hours grinding for rep to finish this game, or is there any other way?
Won't work everytime... I had to try a lot of times, but the lucky one started in new zealand and everyone died in 70 days.
1)Pick Virus. 2)Start in Canada, New Zealand, Cuba, or Greenland.If you do not get there restart. 3)Sell starting symptoms, if any, and buy sneezing. 4)Buy 1-1-1-0 resistances and all transmissions. 5) Once three countries are infected, sell sneezing to get rid of visibility. 6)Wait until all countries are infected. If Madagascar closes its borders or is not infected in 30 days, restart. 7)Buy all four drug resistances, sneezing, coughing, and vomiting. 8)After a few days, unlock tiers 2-3, keeping whatever symptoms it gives you. 9)Buy fever, fatigue, diarrhea, pulmonary edema, and hypersensitivity. 10) Wait until everyone dies. Repost this to keep it alive. Seriously, this works! Worked for me
